Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
I work with clients of all genders from a feminist perspective, which means that we consider the ways in which rigid gender roles and expectations are harmful to everyone. But this is particularly true for women and trans and nonbinary people. Women and female-socialized people are taught to be empathic caretakers, but we forget to make sure to take care of ourselves, and often find that others don't take care of us. We're told we can "have it all" but we're not given supports that make "it all" sustainable or even, perhaps, desirable. So often, if we feel broken, the reality of the situation is that we're perfectly functional, but broken systems are failing us. My feminism is trans-inclusive and conscious of intersectionality. In addition to supporting people who are struggling with these broader issues, I am also a certified perinatal mental health professional.
I bring both my professional background and my lived experience to supporting people with uteruses who are coping with infertility or fertility treatments, pregnancy (including high-risk pregnancy), and the postpartum transition, ranging from identity questions and baby blues to postpartum depression and anxiety. If you feel like you could use some support in the monumental task of "existing while female," reach out. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being a millennial woman comes with unique struggles. While it is a valuable time of self discovery, it is also a time of uncertainty, doubts, and increased responsibility. Discovering who you are in a world that constantly projects it's own limitations and expectations onto you isn't easy! Under the weight of societal pressures we start to question, is this as good as it gets? Are my wants, needs, and desires reasonable? Am I the woman I want to be? Sifting through these questions can feel overwhelming and you don't have to do it alone. Therapy is a place you can come, unscripted and raw. It's an intimate space and relationship that helps foster self awareness, which, in turn, inspires confidence and clarity in our values, desires, and boundaries. Call or email me today to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I provide a nurturing and respectful space for women navigating the unique challenges and transitions that can arise throughout their lives. With a holistic approach that includes Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I support women in exploring and addressing issues such as relationship dynamics, self-esteem, career pressures, motherhood, and life transitions. Mindfulness helps cultivate a present-moment awareness and acceptance, EFT offers a method for managing emotional stress, IFS allows for an exploration of internal parts and their roles, CBT challenges unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, and Role-Playing enhances coping skills in real-life scenarios. My role is to guide and empower women through these experiences, providing tools and insights to foster resilience, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves. Together, we work towards not only resolving immediate concerns but also building a foundation for lasting well-being and fulfillment.
